Intelligence, Personality, and Interests in the Career Choice Process

Historically, many researchers have considered the domains of intellectual abilities, personality, and interests to be both distinct and distant from one another. Recent meta-analytic reviews and new empirical research suggest that there are fundamental communalities among particular measures of cognition, affect, and conation. These communalities, in turn, yield a relatively small set of trait complexes—groups of traits that are related to one another and that appear to be differentially related to career choices and adult intellectual development. Derivation of trait complexes is described; empirical data on trait complexes, career choice, and domain-specific knowledge are reviewed; and implications for developments in vocational and educational counseling are suggested.

Key Words: intelligence • personality • interests • trait complexes
